Sheep Near the Ruins of an Arch

Johann Heinrich Roos

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a black-and-white drawing of sheep near the ruins of an arch. A large adult sheep stands near the center, with three smaller lambs gathered around, two on the ground and one on the right. The adult sheep faces right, while the lamb on the left looks up at it. The arch is made of stone blocks and features a rounded top. It has a wall on either side, with the left wall appearing taller. The arch and walls are weathered, with vegetation growing from the top. In the background, there are trees and a grassy area to the right. The sky above appears light and hazy. The drawing is rendered in a detailed, realistic style with heavy shading and texture.
